URGENT NEEDS... NEED your HELP!

Calling
ALL Dream of a Better World friends, team members and donors! We have some
urgent needs and projects to support CALIFORNIA WILDFIRE VICTIMS.

For our
friends from around the world who may not have heard the news, tens of
thousands of Californians have tragically lost homes, pets, cars, belongings
and, in some cases, loved ones! There are so many IMMEDIATE NEEDS that we
are collecting donations for just about everything you can imagine for putting
their lives back together. We primarily need monetary donations that we
can use to help fill in the gap and get people back on their feet.

The most immediate needs:

1) TEMPORARY HOUSING for displaced families staying in
shelters. If you have a room, a house, or any location that will house people
on a temporary basis, please contact us! Also, one of our friends, Tracy Ferm,
is helping a sweet couple move into a refurbished plumbing store, but it needs
furniture, household items and minor repairs to make it livable. Please help if
you can!

2) BASIC NEEDS - We are
collecting new and very
gently used items to help meet basic household needs to sustain and begin to
rebuild for families who lost everything. Examples include:
furniture, tools, housewares, toiletries, blankets, canned food, sleeping bags,
blow up beds, gift certificates for Walmart, Costco, Bed Bath & Beyond,
VISA cards, etc. These items will be transported up to Chico where most
of these families are currently being housed.

Thank you all for
sharing your stories with us. This will clearly be a marathon, so let’s start

right here! This is a photo of Teresa & Michael, a super sweet, lovely
couple in their early sixties. Michael is the manager of a machine shop and
Teresa has been a special needs teacher her entire career andher school is now
ashes.

This is a photo of them escaping the
fire. Their car is the one in the back.

Teresa and Michael lost EVERYTHING in the
fire last week... their home, cars, cat and personal treasures. They also have
17 friends that have lost their homes. PLEASE help us reach out to as many as
possible.
